Lost in Paradise is artist Jeho Bitancor’s continuing investigation in painting of the social landscape of the USA , relating to personal migrant experiences, observations and insights gathered since he moved to Jersey City , close to New York . Jeho’s new ‘style’ of layering objects upon scenes presents a breathtaking panoply of images paraded before us in rapid succession and full complexity, as befits the bewildering pace of life in Manhattan – the American experience through the eyes of a critical Filipino.

Jeho Bitancor is a Cultural Centre of the Philippines Thirteen Artists Awardee of 2006, who has exhibited extensively in the Philippines, Singapore, USA, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong. Trained in the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts (1984-1992), and the New York City Art Studentâ€™s League (1997), Jeho has won several awards and distinctions, and is collected by the Singapore Art Museum, Ateneo Art Gallery, National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Aurora Provincial Government, Museo de Baler, as well as several private collections.

The creative people of the Aurora Provincial Tourism Office have been consistently producing and uploading promo videos of Aurora. They do these in-house and most videos were shot by Mac Ritual and edited by Ryan Ritual. Here are some samples.
